The rough and tumble sport of rugby is a game with high levels of popularity in certain parts of Africa, making it one of the most loved sports. South Africa is the country with the most fervent rugby fans, as their Springboks are former world champions, and it is played within many schools. Namibia, Ghana and Kenya have rugby teams that have grown in stature in recent years, and in the sevens format of the game, South Africa and Kenya are world beaters.
